Significant Professional Activities
Tarek Abdel-Hamid has just completed the first draft of his new book. It is a System Dynamics perspective of health management, specifically focusing on the obesity epidemic. The book is the result of Tarek's work while an affiliate at Stanford Medical Informatics department. It incorporates feedback models of human physiology that he developed. Editing is expected to take 6-8 months, with a target publication for spring 2007.
Wolf Baer was involved with the UAV Flight and Precision Targeting Mission Control Experiment 20 for TNT-06-3 along with LCDR. Tim Lamb. The UAV-Mission Control research addresses the need for developing image processing and data handling algorithms to support operators of small UAV’s performing surveillance reconnaissance and precision targeting without the expensive hardware platforms characteristic of high end Predator class systems. This experiment demonstrated the feasibility of multiple live-image projection and instant playback of geo-referenced images for future small UAV control. Our effort is intended to move beyond the “consciousness in the cockpit” concept of UAV’s and develop systems from the mission centric viewpoint. Such development treats the UAV as a data gathering peripheral to the central mission requirements of feature detection, recognition, location and information generation for down stream decision makers rather than a platform for a pilot in a remote cockpit.
Alex Bordetsky and his team of NPS investigators, together with their SOCOM sponsors, continue
operating a plug-and-play testbed, which enables discovery, integration, and demonstration experiments for a broad range of solutions employing networks of sensors, unmanned vehicles, and human decision makers. This TNT series of field experiments take place principally between the NPS and Camp Roberts.
Alex Bordetsky was Keynote Speaker for Northrop Grumman 1st Geolocational Symposium, Woodland Hills, CA, June 2006.
Alex Bordetsky was SOCOM Advisory Committee Member for new sources acquisition (September, 2006).
Jim Ehlert is Program Manager for the Coalition Operating Area Surveillance and Targeting System (COASTS) field experimentation program directing a team of 40 personnel (ONR reservists, NPS faculty and students, and commercial vendors) in support of four OCNUS-based and 2-OCONUS based experiments. The purpose of the combined effort is to study the emergence and relatively low-cost of commercially available wireless networking technologies, which support traditional military, peacekeeping, law enforcement, and non-governmental organization applications (such as humanitarian assistance and disaster relief) and create potentially important operational and resource considerations for decisionmakers. Faster networks providing more data-rich information can be seamlessly incorporated into existing command and control decision cycles through situational awareness applications benefiting from the utilization of fixed or mobile aerial, ground, or surface/sub-surface water sensor inputs. The real-time access to information and the ability to fuse and disseminate intelligence across local, regional, or global information fusion centers supports a timely, coordinated, and better synchronized response to a given event.
Rick Hayes-Roth participated in the Key National Indicators Initiative, National Academy of Engineering, product design/technology sub-panel, Washington DC, July, 2006.
Sue Hutchins participated in Trident Warrior 06 an annual assessment event to support Navy leadership with accurate data on the utility and usability of new tools to support the warfighter. Her role was to support survey development and administration. A total o 1297 surveys were completed.
Dave Kleinman served as Track Chair, Track 11: “Diagnostics and Prognostics for Aerospace Systems”, 2006 IEEE Aerospace Conference, Big Sky MT, March 2006.
Mark Nissen has been engaging with the Army Knowledge Management Community through a webbased, virtual interview focused on his book entitled Harnessing Knowledge Dynamics: Principled Organizational Knowing & Learning; in this online-interview format, people from the Army KM Community read a chapter of the book as a group, and engage Mark by asking questions in a threaded-discussion environment.
